life.

Life.
On the 10th of January, 1910, her majesty
announced at the opening of parliament that
she would soon marry her cousin, Prince AL
bert-a step, she trusted, conducive to the
interests of my people as well as my own do
nestle happiness"
The marriage took place Feb. 10, 1910. His
Royal Highness Francis Albert Augustus
Charles Emanuel, Duke of Saxony and
Prince of Coburg and Gotha such were his
full titles, was born Aug. 26, 1919, and was
therefore three months younger than the
queen. They became lovers carly, and one
of the ladies in waiting relates that the queen
was sorely tried by the royal etiquette, which
demanded that she should make the first sug-
gestion of marriage. After the interview
she reached her chamber in great agitation,
and, being comforted by the lady, Remarked:
~ am indeed agitated, and with good cause
have just proposed to the prince" Her
chosen husband was at once naturalized by
act of parliament, given the title of prince
consort and an annuity Of 100000 sterling
per year, and it was enacted that in case he

quently called to enquire about ner; it
will readily be understood that she was
not under his care.
AS soon as she became convaIescent
Miss Saville returned with her family
to England. Never was the subject of
the strange attachment that sprang up
in the caves of DouarneneZ mentioned
by the two sisters. Gregory had de-
clared her intention of leading a single
life and resolutely declined many offers
of marriage.
Six years later, on Christmas eve,
Gregory beheld her sister, Lady Sell
wyn, mortally prOstrated under an
attack of congestion of the lungs.
Dear sister," whispered the dying
woman, ''had you died at Audierne,
who now would there be to care for my
two little girls?"
Miss SavIlle understood from that
moment that she had no longer any
right to dispose of her destiny, and she
solemnly promised her sister to be a
mother to her orphan children.
She kept her word. Her romantic
visions gave place to infiexible reality.
The fond dreams of the past she re-
tained, but as soft and melancholy
memory. Many years after she learned
that the doctor of Audierne had died
on the field of honor attending the
victims of a fell epidemic. and the lips
of the old maid murmured a prayer for
the soul of the guilty one who had so
nObly eXpiated his sin.

Honor Among Gypsics.

1t may be strange information for
those who regard gypsIes as outlaws
that no people living are more regard
full than they of the law and the rights
of others. But that is true. Go where
you Will along the quiet countrysides
of our land, where, as the sunny days
of the year return, they bring these
welcomed cavalcades among the farm
and village folk fol- the annual dlcker-
ings and chickering's, and you will find
that no gypsy family or band pitches its
tents, builds its fires and puts its beasts
together without an actual legal bar
gained right to do so. Sometimes the
price is paid in money, sometimes III
tinkerlng, sometimes in dickeT or horse
or mule, and sometimes even in free
fortune telling for the farmers family.
But it is always paid. From the
Pemaquan of Maine across the conti-
nent to Los Angeles, and everywhere
north and south where farm homes are
in all that mighty distance, the gypsy
camp fires are annually relighted above
the ashes OF the last years cheer on
this clean cut, canny plan.

Turning Rags IEto Rugs.

l was waiting for a train at Red
Bank recently when there came trudg-
ing along a descendant of the law
giver with heavy bag ON his back. 1t
was full OF something knObby, and as
he stopped to rest 1 asked him if he had
been ralding a muskmelOn patch. He
grlnned and opened his bag and
showed me that it was full of balls of
carpet rags. He had been gathering
them up from the farmhouses, giving
cheap trinkets, ribbons and other ia
vorite feminine gear in exchange.
When be took them home TO ESSEX
street his sons would weave them into
rugs and sell them. There was money
in it, ne said There was profit on
the trade and profit on the sale of
the rugs. And having rested, he went
plodding off through the red dust, d
type of the patient persistency OF his
race, He proposed to walk as far as
Perth Amboy and fill another sack if
possible before he wasted any money
on a railway ride. "a man, said ne,

A Gambling Debt of Two Dollars Pays
Twenty Thousand.

was talking with gentleman from
Nebraska recently, and he was telling
me of the wonderful Jump real estate
has taken in some parts of that State,
but one incident he quoted was par
ticularly interesting. He said that
about two years ago a former regular
army officer, an acquaintance OF his,
called on him with the deeds of some
property in his city and asked him
where the property was located. 1t
was in the evening and the gentleman
told the officer to stop with him all
night and they would look up the prop
erty in the morning. They had a pleas
ant evening, going over old army life
and swapping stories of life on the
frontier when they were both young
and lively and were liable to bet
months salary on a poker hand.
In the morning they looked up the
property, which happened to consist of
five acres of good land within the limits
of the city.
what do you think it is worth?"
asked the officer.
About twenty thousand dollars"
was the answer.
"I've been offered ten Thousand dol
lars for it," said the officer, land Pm
glad l met you. Now do you know how
l got that property?''
Il haven't the slightest idea, unless
you bought it," answered the gentle
man.
"Well, took it for a two dollar
poker debt when was on the frontier
years ago"

Looking about, Dolly then for the
first time perceived evidence OF prepar-
alton for flight.
The old woman went up to the
trembling wretch and said, comfort
ngly,
Don't be afraid 1 saw a man
around here last nil hi, but he shan't
lay hand on you"
With the confidence of a sleep
walker or a monomaniac, the old woman
led her charge forth toward a wood at
the rear of the cottage.
She appeared to have utterly for
gotten Dolly, who was left sitting there
blankly, entirely alone.
Some words of the old woman still
rung in her ears.

cause she had helped to evade justice.
"In this detected attitude she sat,
too much engrossed in mourning after
her lover to see him enter.

found you out at last,' said voice
that electrified her.
Dolly, the whilom, proud, piquant
Dolly, threw herself in an attitude of
supplication at the feet of her lover.

''hunt him down. If you could see
him, if you knew OF his repentance,

Two hours later they appeared before

ward looking like shorn Samson, and
asked her consent to a speedy mar

That evening Mrs. Perkins triumph

THE POTENT STEAM WHISTLE.
Stanley and Other Explorers Soaring
the Natives Out Of Their Wits.

When traveller takes a steamboat
Tor the first time upon an unexplored
river he usually finds that the whistle
is as potent as a howitzer would be in
keeping unfriendly natives at a re-
spectacle distance. The cable informed
US recently that when Stanley reached
the big town of Yambunga, on the
Aruwiml River, the village was de-
populated in a twinkling by blast
from one of his steamboat whistles.
When they found that nothing had
hurt them. however, they came back.
The. scare they got may have accounted
for the friendly reception they gave
Stanley. When he visited this town
several years ago the people would not
sell him particle of food. They had
abundance. as he was able to ascertain,
though they pleaded that they were in
starving condition. This time, however,
they sold him plenty of eatables, and
did what they could to speed him on his
way.
Nothing impreSSeS a savage more
than big noise, and nothing inspires
him with greater terror than noise he
does not understand. Baron Won
SchwerIn says that firearms are chiefly
useful to the Congo natives for the
noise they can make with them. He
thinks the native with a gun in his
hand is not half so much to be feared
as when he is armed with his lance.
FEntlock musket5 and gunpowder are
two leading articles of import into the
Congo region. but as yet the natives
use them merely to contribute a regu-
lar Fourt of July racket to all festive
occasions. Whole kegs of gunpowder
are sometimes burned to celebrate a
victory in war or the advent of a new
chief. Sometimes the wretched guns
burst, to the great personal injury of
the men who handle them, but these
tragic incidents do not shake the native
faith in the white mans shooting iron
as, on the whole, a very innocent and
most enjoyable plaything.
Bat these putting steamboats, that are
evidently things OF life are great
sources of terror on first acquaintance,
AMI when the strange swimming mon
sters emit an earthly shrek everybody
within hearing feels that IL is high time
TO take 10 the woods. Gre nfell. Wolf,
and other Congo explorers, triumph
antly proved the efficacy of the steam
whistle on occasions when the natives
Were determined to be hostile at short
range; and when Capt. Everill assembled
the Fly River in New Guinea two
years ago, meeting many untriendly
tribes, blast from his steam whistle
was usually enough to cause a let up in
the showers of arrows that everywhere
greeted him,

A Dummy WayinS a Handkerchief

1t is custom among railroad men
whose homes are situated within view
OF their passing trains to be always on
the platform of tue cars and TO salute
their wives or other members of the
family, who are generally at the WIN
dow at the time when the trains pass.
The conductors and brakemen have
come to regard it as duty on the part
of their families to be at the window.

very particular to have this custom OBJ

Japanese Fashions

The dress of Japanese women and
children is uniformly of bright-hued
calicoes, fresh and clean, their head
covering gayly lacquerred bamboo hat
of native manufacture. Every woman
must have elaborate inlaid silver breast
pins with which to fasten her loose
upper robes. Some bamboo hats are
exquisite specimens of plating; the fin
est qualities are made of carefully pre-
pared strips OF bamboo. costing in Ban
tam but mere trifle, while in Paris
they are retalled at profit of nearly
1000 per cent, as true Panama bats.

Special Correspondence Cleveland Leader


GEORGE BANCROFT. though in the
eighty seventh year of his age, is al
work as hard as ever. Few people
thought he would sufficiently recover
from his recent illness to be able to
rssume his laoors. For a long time it
was really doubtful if he would recov.
er. but the wonderful constitution
which has been his mainstay all
through life, and which has enabled
him to do q prodigious amount of
work at all times, came to his rescue,
and he is again in the harness. A few
days ago he returned from his trip to
the South, during which he visited
the widow of President Polk and from
her obtained q number of her hus
bands private papers and other docu-
ments of great historical value, and
he has kept several stenOgraphers bu.
sy transcriti the same at his resi-
dence in this city. 1t looks, therefore,
as though the venerable gentleman is
about to entet upon q new work in
continuation, it might be said, of his
former publications in American his
tory. During the present week he has
two or three times INDUCED in his
favorite pastime of horseback riding,
seemingly enjoying the same as much
as ever. His flower garden excites as
much the envy of those who see it as
in seasons past. for he never fails to
give it attention. His grand daughter,
Miss Susanna Bancroft, who was born
and reared in France, and can only
speak English with a decidedly foreign
accent, acts as mistress of the house
hold since the oath of Mrs Bancroft.
Mr.. Bancroft expects to leave
with the remainder of his household
for his summer home at Newport,
early in June.

other humbugs in the business. The
National Government is forbidden by
the constitution to pay any part of the

all that sort Of nensense.

Death of John >. Herr,ck.

Major John 3. Herrick died at his
home, in Cincinnati, on the 25th ult.
Major Herrick became q resident OF
Ravenna in 1S4S, removing here from
Cleveland, where he had for some
years been connected with the Cleve-
land Herald. Being an ardent Whig,
he was induced by leading members
of that party in this county to relin-
quish his position on the Herald, and
found the Portage Co. Whig. which
he continued to publish in this village
until 1854, when it, with the Ohio
Star, was merged into the Portage Co.
Democrat, under the firm name of
Hall, Herrick & Wadsworth. By the
retirement of Mr.. Wadsworth at tfe
expiI alton of two years, the firm be-
came Hall, Herrick & Co., II. r. W..
Hall purchasing the Interest of Mr..
Wadsworth. his father, L. w. Hall,
being senior member of the firm. Mai.
Herrick continued his connection with
this paperuntil 1859, when he sold his
interest to l.. w. Hall Il Son, He
was the Republican Presidential cleo
tor for this District in 1850, and was
chosen messenger by the electoral col
lege to deliver the vote at Washington.
He was a prominent candidate for
Marshal of Northern Ohio under Pres.
ident Lincoln's administration, at the
time of Earl Bills appointment to
that Office. In 1861 he took position
on the Cleveland Leader as one of its
staff of editors in the local department.
Subsequently, he entered the army as
Paymaster. On being mustered out
of service at the close of the war, he
removed to Cincinnati, where he con
tinued to reside until his death.
The funeral services were held at
the residence of his brother, ex. Mayor
Herrick, in Cleveland, Friday last,
and his remains deposited in Wood
land Cemetery in that city. He leaves
two married daughters-Mrs. d J.
Francis, and Mrs. Adelaide Cole, of
Syracuse. N. Y. His only son, Albert,
a young man of much promise, died
in Cleveland in 1862 or -. His aged
mother, nearly 80 years of age, sur
wives him.
Major Herrick was of genial dispo
sition, and was widely known in so
cial and political circles in this County.
